Proud of myself for staying removed enough from "news" that I barely know what's up with the Trump meme-coin debacle, but I am giddy that the soon to be sitting President will rug pull people left and right... I really hoped these sorts of things wouldn't happen, but my deep rooted skepticism couldn't let my hunch go. Onward. 🤘

Thankful for my bitcoin miner and network today - house has been chilly with this winter front passing through. 🔥❄️

The South Park episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft" will forever be a favorite comedic bit that will always make me laugh. "...Gentlemen, we are talking about an individual who has played World of Warcraft nearly every hour, of every day, for the past year and a half..." "...My God - we must be dealing with somone who has absolutely no life." 🤣

Cold weather has settled in around the farm now. Settling some personal projects, including woodburning, writing, and just working on physical and mental fitness - namely rowing and meditation. Feeling good, ready to tackle challenges when needed and just approach 2025 in a positive manner.

Anytime people start to think about "diversifying" to figure out a magical way to make money, or think they can do better - they should watch this vid. I love revisiting it as nearly everyone I previously worked with seemed to have this mindset. https://youtu.be/1UY0uS6Z6oE Absolute comedic gold. 🙌

Work work work. Gotta start January off with a few extra Sats in my pocket.

I'm all for progression and new technology, but they're LOSING $100K per vehicle sold? So the Department of Energy brokers a $6 Billion dollar loan?! What happened to failure being acceptable. Learning and improving. This is the participation trophy of modern day business. https://www.teslarati.com/rivian-might-have-paid-huge-price-6-billion-doe-loan/

Coding project today. Need to up my consistency. I can do better. 🙌

Slow and steady, I stay the path.

Simply a day to set my room in order. 🙌

The temperatures here on the farm are crazy. 51°F yesterday. Tomorrow night? Projected 18°. Often find myself with pounding headaches during these swings. Kills my productivity. Again, I know climate is some taboo topic, arguably more than politics, but these changes in nature and the local fauna don't feel natural. You can see it in the insects that are around when they shouldn't be. I fear when the weather will 'normally' be warmer during Spring season, we may be beset with pests that we'd otherwise hope were culled a bit. Who knows, hopefully I'm completely erroneous. 🥴

Slowly but surely figuring out noStrudel. I like it on my desktop as I can self-host, and Primal on my phone while on the go. noStrudel almost has too many options that I'm not well educated on at the moment, but otherwise I have zero issues with my hosted instance on a server. Need to spend some time this holiday to become more comfortable.

For the first time in a while I got out today and had lunch with an old friend. In catching up, we discussed work, money, family, etc. He goes on to tell me about how well work is going, the kids school progress, and essentially tells me even with all of that - he and his wife, who both work - and she with a college degree applied to her field of study in healthcare - are unsure about how to make ends meet financially. He's accepting all the overtime he can - yet their spending still seems out of control and about as insolvent as the U.S. itself. I just feel bad personally that these types of folks can't see the way out. Or at least a way to help them offset this neverending spiral they find themselves on. I'm far from the type of person to stand here and say "Bitcoin fixes this", however it has helped my basic existance in a time where I definitely think almost everyone is NOT thriving like they want to be...

Rowing session in the books. Feeling good. Rainy, cold day stops nothing! Onward. 🤘

My most recent ramblings on the blog. -> http://sx4t2zaxavias2tvczwg6cii6r3cm67wxrx7fus6nnua5usvqc5vbead.onion/winding-down-2024/

Finally getting around to sharing my personal self-hosted blog, The Bitcoin Farmer. Just random thoughts and the goings on around our farm. Always looking forward to feedback! Thanks in advance. http://sx4t2zaxavias2tvczwg6cii6r3cm67wxrx7fus6nnua5usvqc5vbead.onion/

The new version of #Primal on android is SO much better thus far. Far less laggy for me - I like the new tabs for searching / discovering new content, and it just seems to run well on my old device I keep for use around the house. Hopefully they keep up the momentum with this. ⚡️🤙

Is there an ETA on Bisq Multisig Trade Protocol nostr:npub1sqn6rpml88nq8khuvvneuqztfmvalpsarr8grkwy837hzdw63ajs6t5net? Just curious on any updates I may have missed.

Friday night shenanigans with some gaming... My fav Warframe on display. Trinity. Healer. Supporter. Protector. She's my jam. 😎 #Gamestr

Attempting to get my self-hosted Ghost instance public to share my ramblings and life-thoughts. Writing has always been a passion project of mine and a creative endeavour I don't mind sharing. The Bitcoin Farmer - will be linked here and there on occasion and I'll ALWAYS be receptive to thoughts, criticisms, and critiques. 📝
